Among the Insurrectionists
The Capitol was breached by Trump supporters who had been declaring, at rally after rally, that they would go to violent lengths to keep the President in power. A chronicle of an attack foretold.

Longtime Trump advisers connected to groups behind rally that led to Capitol attack
Roger Stone, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn all promoted the Jan. 6 rally.

Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn all participated in efforts to promote the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" event that ultimately devolved into a riotous and deadly melee at the United States Capitol, leaving five dead and causing Trump to become the only president to be impeached for a second time.
F'ing nazis.

Firing squad. Cheaper than lethal injection, simpler than the gas chamber.
All you need is a few bullets and a wall. A blindfold if you want to get fancy.
Far from cruel, it only hurts for that (finger snap) long.

So the reauthorization of firing squads for federal executions is one Trump change that may come in handy. We can keep this one, and even give him a credit in the execution procedure.

I imagine the warden saying something like "Today's method of execution, firing squad, was made possible by President Donald J. Trump, and his Attorney General, William Barr."

Off-duty police were part of the Capitol mob. Now police are turning in their own.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...207_story.html

Quote:
A Washington Post analysis shows that at least 29 current and former officers attended the Jan. 6 rally, with some proceeding to the Capitol, according to a review of officers’ social media accounts, FBI reports and news reports.

Of those, at least 13 officers are under investigation for possible participation in the rioting, as well more than a dozen Capitol Police officers who may have assisted the mob that seized the Capitol.

Something must of got the local cult going yesterday. For around four oclock I received three separate calls. With the same statement pretty much.
Proof that Trump won the election....because you don't see Biden voters out with flags, hats basically wearing a uniform proclaiming their support!

WTF!

Told the three, we don't need to be reminded of or reinforcement of others.
